.~.~.~ Cement or consolidating material contains inorganic water settable and organic ingredients
DEFINITION
Classification: 166/293
(under subclass 292) A process in which the material which causes cementing, plugging or consolidating comprises a mixture of an organic material and an inorganic material which hydrates to become hard or plastic.
(1) Note. Clays, for the purpose of this definition, are not considered to be materials which hydrate to become hard or plastic.
(2) Note. The material of the definition must be a slurry which is considered to form an intermingled mixture of organic and inorganic cementing, plugging or consolidating materials when in final position in the well or formation. If the organic and inorganic materials were considered to be separate or separate in the formation or well so that only one of them performs the cementing, plugging or consolidating function, then classification would be on some other basis, probably in subclasses 292 or 294+.
